OmniWeb is built using a custom version of Apple's open source WebKit framework. The link troy gave you is a program that runs Safari using the version of the framework that is the closest to the version we started with.

The idea is that if a bug also exhibits itself using that version of WebKit--it is a framework bug, if not, it is an OmniWeb bug. This is not so much about blame as helping us track down where we need to fix the problem.

Additionally, if the version of WebKit (r13302 in this case) has the bug and the latest version of WebKit does not, we then know that the bug has already been fixed and so when we grab a later version of WebKit (which we are planning to do for 5.5.1) we may get the fix "for free"[*].

Hope this helps explain the situation.
